Constantly improving the big compromise. No one size fits all. Constant work. Not only in the government, but also in people’s heads.

Keeping the checks and balances in place. Finding loopholes and fixing them - if need be with more checks and balances.

Yes, a stable and relatively just state will always require administration. Be sure it doesn’t all fall into one person’s hand.

But the USA lost all this decades ago. Frankly, it’s a miracle that it took so long for a president to take full advantage.
